How is the type of energy used today? Explain
  • the Niagra Falls streches the border between Canadian province of Ontria and U.S. state of NY
  • Hoover Dam is the border between Arizona and Novado

  • Water to run the power plant is previded free by Nature
  • Hydroelctric plays a major role in the Reducing Greenhouse Gas
  • It is Renewable Rainfall renews the emisions water in the resvior, but fuel is almost there

What are the disadvanteges of using this source of energy?
  • It uses valuable and limited Natural resources
  • To power plants that use coal,oil,and gas fuel
